Basic Eggless Chocolate Cake

I have used a well known eggless chocolate cake recipe for years but was never quite content with the taste. It had a bit of an aftertaste so I just had to tweak it! I have used it in many birthday cakes in a variety of requested themes.

It is a little tricky to substitute for butter entirely in an eggless cake recipe. You can at least substitute half of it. If you do subtitle it all, you will need another binder in the recipe like applesauce or cornstarch.
